In this study the mechanical properties of ferritic ductile cast iron in as-cast are discussed by metallographic considering the effect of phosphorus content(about 0 - 0.8wt.%). In ferritic S.G. cast iron containing about 4.2wt.% Si, 0.5wt.% Ni, 0.02wt.%B, these samples are investigated for castability, microstructure, machinability, wear resistance, mechanical and thermal properties. The main results are summarized as follows. 1) The chill depth increased greatly with P addition up to about 0.6wt.% but the tensile strength and the elongation are decreased smoothly. 2) The size of S.G. and the amount of steadite increase with increasing P content. This means the tendency of increasing the number of S.G. 3) The maximum value of wear by mechanical fracture was appeared at the abrasion speed of 1.14m/sec and the plastic Flow layers are stretched longly on the wear surface with decreasing P content. 4) Although the coefficient of thermal expansion increased with P addition, the cast iron growth was slowing down extremely at 0.6w.% P or more.

Waterborne polyurethane(PU) microgel dispersions were synthesized with different mole ratio of polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG) to dimethylol propionic acid(DMPA). Particle size distribution, thermal and mechanical properties of the PU microgels were investigated. Particle size of the microgels was distributed in the range of $98{\sim}$680{\mu}m$ and decreased with increasing the mole ratio of DMPA and 1,2,6-hexanetriol. Glass transition temperature and melting temperature of the microgels were in the range of $-79.7 {\sim}-78.1^{\circ}C$, $22{\sim}24^{\circ}C$ respectively. Tensile strength and elongation of the PU microgel films were maximum in the case of 60/40 mole ratio of PTMG/DMPA.

Intermolecular collagen cross links stabilize collagen fibrils and are necessary for normal tensile strength in collagen fibrils. Once the fibrils are aligned, hydroxyllysine, hydroxylysine derived aldehyde modified enzymatically, reacts with hydroxylysine to form the dehydrodihydroxylysinonorleucine (DHLNL), an immature crosslink. Pyridinoline, one of matured cross links is presumably formed nonenzymatically through condensation of DHLNL and hydroxylysine residue. It is widely distributed in hard connective tissues such as cartilage, bone and tendon. L ascorbic acid(AsA) is well known to be required for the enzymatic hydroxylation of proline and lysine in collagen fibrils. The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of AsA on the biosynthesis of DHLNL in vitro. We examined the effect of AsA on the formation of hydroxylysine and DHLNL in collagen. Pyridinoline and DHLNL were measured as a function of time. The contents of DHLNL was increased, reached maximum within 2 hr and was held until 24 hr, then it decreased slowly. On the contrary, pyridinoline increased gradually after 24 hr and continued to increase for 2 weeks. Moreover, the contents of DHLNL remarkably decreased at 60 min after incubation, the contents of DHLNL was decreased by addition of AsA or dehydroascorbic acid(DHA). These results suggest that the supplementation of AsA causes decrease in DHLNL formation and pyridinoline formed by nonenzymatic reaction of DHLNL.

This study is mainly concerned with phenomenon of cavitation-erosion on the several materials and corrosive liquids which were applied with vibrator(suggested by ASTM G 32, 20KHz, 50$mu extrm{m}$). The maximum erosion rate by cavitation erosion in both of distilled water and sea water appeared to be proportioned to their hardness and tensile strength. Cavitation weight loss and rate of cast iron in sea water condition were greater(approximately 3 times) than that in distilled water condition, however in case of stainless steel and brass the cavitation weight loss of composite materials were not so different in both of their conditions. Cavitation weight loss of composite materials were shown as below on this test, Duratough DL : Weight loss in sea-water condition were greater (approximately 2.3 times) than it's distilled water condition. The main tendency of cavitation erosion for metals appeared that small damaged holes causing by cavitation erosion was observed with radial pattern. On the other hand, the tendency for composites appeared that small damaged holes were observed randomly.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degradation characteristics of waste cigarette filters under 0, 5, 10, and 15cm in depth from soil surface by environmental conditions. Weather was the most important factor during degradation of waste cigarette filters in this study. Bulking of cellulose acetate filaments exposed on soil surface was observed after 2 months, but the form of filter was kept up after 12 months. The treated cigarette filters in soil landfill revealed a little different degradation pattern at each soil landfill depth, The sample in 5cm depth of soil was more degraded then other site. A fluffy appearance of cellulose acetate filaments in the control filter rods was also developed more strongly in soil landfill then on soil surface. From the observation of waste cigarette filters by scanning electron microscopy, much degradation of the fiber of waste cigarette filters could be ascertained in soil landfill. The weight of waste cigarette filters under 5cm from soil surface was reduced about 50%, and the tensile strength of the samples in soil surface and under 5cm from soil surface were reduced 66.0% and 92.4%, respectively. The microbial experiment date that the viable cell number in microbial population and cellulolytic microorganisms showed the maximum values under 5cm from soil surface, suggest that microorganisms in soil play an important roll in the degradation of acetate cigarette filters.

Effect of various austempered structures on fracture characteristics of C/V graphite cast iron has studied. The tensile strength and hardness reached the maximum value of 971.4MPa and HB302 at the austempering temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, respectively. As the austempering temperature increased, the amount of retained austenite increased from 18% to 22, 29%, while $K_{IC}$ values ranged from the value of $65MPa{\cdot}m^{12} to 70MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}, 66MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}. This fact that $K_{IC}$ value was not sensitive to the increase of the amount of the retained austenite was that $K_{IC}$ was dependent on the matrix structure in lower bainitic matrix, while dependent on the notch effect from C/V graphite shape in upper bainitic matrix. Fractured surfaces showed a ductile fracture pattern at $300^{\circ}C$. Very large coalescence by C/V graphite and relatively small voids by spheroidal graphite were observed.

Information technology devices, such as cellular phones, MP3s and so on, due to restrictions of space, require thin and small micro-speakers to generate sound. The reduction of the size of micro-speakers has resulted in the decrease of sound quality, due to such factors as frequency range and sound pressure level. In this study, the acoustical properties of oval microspeakers has been studied as a function of pattern shape on the diaphragm. The other conditions of micro-speakers, except for the pattern, was not changed. When the pattern is present on the diaphragm and the shape of pattern was a whirlwind, the resonance frequency was reduced due to the decrease of tensile strength of diaphragm. The patterns presented in the semi-minor axis of diaphragm did not effect a change of resonance frequency. However, increasing the number of patterns in the semimajor axis of diaphragm became a reason for the decrease of resonance frequency on edge side. When the depth of pattern on edge side was increased, the resonance frequency was decreased due to reduction of geometrical stiffness. If the height of edge and dome were increased, the resonance frequency and geometrical stiffness rapidly increased. After reaching the maximum values, they began to decrease with the continuous increase of height.

Polyurethanes(PUs) were synthesized by reaction of isophorone diisocyanate, acetylbutyl citrate, and 3 types of polycaprolactone diol. Their structures were confirmed by FT-IR and NMR spectrometer. And, their thermal and mechanical properties were measured by TGA ud UTM. The effective network chain lengths ($\bar{M}_c$), measured by compressive modulus apparatus, were about $8000\~24000$ g/mol. As crosslinking density and amount of hard segment increased, tensile strength increased and elongation decreased. As the crosslinking density of PUs increased, thermal property inproved. When the ratio of NCO/OH is 1.1, maximum crosslinking density was achieved.

Alumina($Al_2O_3$) and Al 6061 were brazed by using Al-12wt% Si filler metal in a high vacuum environment. The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated. The results obtained were as follows. (1) The maximum tensile strength of 54Mpa was acquired at the processing conditions of high vacuum ($3{\times}10^{-6}Torr$), $620^{\circ}C$ and 10min, but this condition will not be used in the industrial area due to high evaporation of Al alloy composition. (2) Reaction products for holding time and brazing temperature worked as stress relieve layer and the fractures after the mechanical properties test were occurred to the ceramic side or reaction layer. (3) The glancing angle X-ray diffraction analysis for the reaction product of $Al_2O_3/Al$ 6061 were processed. the joint strengths were low due to existed $Al_2Si_5\;and\;SiO_2$.
